FREN 219 - French for Business

3 Credit Hours


This course offers advanced study of speaking, writing, reading and listening comprehension in French, with special attention to workplace culture and social mobility in the U.S., France and in the Francophone world. Students will master French vocabulary relevant to business and other professional careers, and will easily switch from formal to conversational French depending on context. In addition to a textbook, we will rely on authentic French materials: newspapers, magazines, podcasts, and two films. Students will practice speaking and writing in simulated professional settings to perform a faux job search, job interview and marketing presentation. 

Notez bien: Students earning a B or better will be invited to take the qualifying exam for a Business French Diploma from the French Chamber of Commerce.
